    '87 Bluefin Sportsman 1700 Rebuild - Family Cruiser

    Hi All, I'm looking at another rebuild. I've been looking for a bowrider for some time now that I can use with the family for tubing and cruising when we go on vacations. My brother had this Bluefin given to him, and he decided that he didn't have time to re-do it. I dragged it home and...

    Free homebuilt motor stand

    I'm looking to clear some space in my garage, so I'm giving away one of my motor stands. This one can store two motors up to 20" shaft length. I've had two 50 hp's on it at once with no issues. It's very sturdy, and has two layers of 3/4 aroco plywood to mount the motors on. The side gussets...

    4 Motor Pallet Storage Rack

    Hi All, I needed to get my truck into the garage this weekend to do some work, but I found I had too much space taken up with motors on separate stands. I've been kicking around in my head a way to get four motors on a pallet, letting me move them around easily with my pallet jack, and I...

    Family Fun

    Took my brother and nephew out fishing last weekend. We hit the smallies pretty good early in the morning, then by about 9:00, we were landing largemouths. It was my nephew's first real bass trip, and he did really well. My brother landed a nice 2lb 8oz largemouth. Later in the day we went...

    Dilemma - '81 Merc 4hp Gnat or '80 Evinrude 4.5

    Hi all, I'm having a hard time figuring out which to sell and which to keep. I've got two very similar motors, both are short shafts and have the built-in fuel tanks, around 4 hp with tiller controls. Both have at least forward/neutral and are running very well. The '81 Merc 4 hp Gnat is...

    Mercury Identification Assistance

    Hi all, So I'm far more familiar with the model number identification of the JohnnyRude's, but I'm working on an 4hp Mercury Gnat that I can't quite nail down the model year. The serial number is 9321882, which is higher than any of the series of serial numbers assigned to a 4 hp. Looking...

    Mercury 4hp with stripped crankshaft splines

    Hi All, I've been working on an older Mercury 4 hp Gnat motor. It's running really well and has good compression. My issue is that the splines in the crankshaft have stripped out. Now I know that this is normally a death sentence for most motors, and this being a Gnat, it already had two...

    1985 50 hp Evinrude - Help buy my new boat! - $600 for TB'er

    Hi All, I'm selling a 1985 50 hp Evinrude. It's in very good condition, and is running well. I've stripped down and cleaned the carbs and replaced the water pump. It starts easily and runs well on the muffs. The badge on the cover says 60 hp, but it's a lie. This is the 50 hp motor...

    Wanted: Inexpensive / free 16-18' Aluminum Bowrider Hull

    Hi All, I'm looking to put together a boat package that I can use with my younger kids. I've always had my eye on the Aluminum bowriders like the Starcraft SS models. I've got a 50 hp Evinrude that I'd like to bolt onto a 16 to 18 ft boat. I don't need a trailer, but if one came with the...

    Evinrude Tilt/Trim Compatibility Question & OMC Derating

    Hi All, I scored a great Craigslist find this weekend. I picked up a 1985 Evinrude 50hp from the next town over for $100. It was run about 4 years ago and placed in the garage when a new motor was added. It was advertised as a 70 hp (owner sold a couple of motors that day), but had the...

    Don't trust my tachometer.

    I have an '89 Evinrude 40hp on my Tracker. While running, I can top out around 27mph with myself in the boat and only lightly loaded. I'm not terribly disappointed in the performance, but the tach only shows 4500rpm at WOT. I'm not sure that I trust the reading on it, as the gauges on my boat...

    Steal of a deal in Ma

    Here's a posting on craigslist for a Johnson 9.9 for $75. It looks pristine and I'm guessing would be a good deal for any tin boater. Not quite sure all of his info is correct, as it looks like a 20" shaft rather than a 25". Not 100% on the year either...

    Replacing Waterlogged Foam in 89 Bass Tracker Pro 17

    Hi all, I recently purchased an 89 Tracker Pro 17 for a good deal. The boat is in very good condition, and has brand new decking and carpet replaced in spring this year. In an earlier post, we've identified that the decking was made with Marine grade plywood and it appears that the PO used...

    Marine Plywood.... How bad?

    This weekend I purchased an 89 Bass Tracker Pro17. The previous owner recently replaced the decking and carpet. When he did, he used the marine grade plywood instead of using CDX. I am aware that aluminum ins a very reactive metal and will corrode at the drop of a hat. Does anyone have any...
